loosing weight but have bigger boobs



Recommended Posts

I'm a visual person and while not necessarily good at drawing, maybe this will help a bit. (Of course, this is just my theory). The picture below has two bodies, each body has the exact same boob. One body is fat, the other is leaner. Notice that as the abdominal fat shrinks the body actually recedes. The band of the bra fits farther back, and more of the actual boob is there to be covered in the cup size.

I'm probably still not explaining this well.

CLose your fist around a straw. You only see part of the straw. Now move your fist down the straw to simulate the body's recession. The straw was the same size all along, but now more of it is exposed because the bosy has receded.

Blah, that's the best I can do. :)

I have to say, I like the booby in the first pic better!

And I wish my booby was as perky as either of those.

I understand. I was wearing my bra to high and now this one fits correctly around the back. I just wish I could wear one of those cute demi-bras. My daughter just talked her father into buying her two of them. I objected but he said "no one will see her in them but her, RIGHT. If that is whet makes her happy then so be it." I think she is still to young at 12 yrs old to be wearing anything like that.

I have to say I've never thought about that, but it does make sense. I will probably go up in cup size too.

BTW, "bigger" boobs does not = "big" boobs. All you Fs and Gs and QQQs and ZZZs. By "cup size bigger" I mean like... a loose C instead of a loose B. Y'all suck. :)

I went to a PS to inquire about breast reduction because all my earlier life I was used to being flat and somewhat thin. after lapand I have gone from 42DD to a 38 DD. Well, that is nice but I'm still too big. My clothes are deterined by my boob size and I don't like this. Wearing a size 12 pants with DD boobs! My first consult with PS said I did not need a reduction, just a lift. The second PS consult said I would benefit from both reduction and lift. He was considered that I might loose more and reduce the cup size.

Now I'm not sure. Maybe I need the lift and that would take care of both problems.

I thik I'll hold off on any of these decisions for a while.

good luck to the rest of you. I'll be watching your progress and hope the best.

I've gone from a 42D to a 38 D so far, i am hoping for a 34C. I would love that.

Jachut, i hear ya on the wide bands lol! with the right bra, it looks as though i have zero back fat, but i got a new 38 d with only 2 hooks on it, and if it is not sitting in the right spot then the fat spills over. lol. It's hard to find a 38 D with a wider band! at least over here in Germany.

My main problem with my boobs, other than they are to big, is that they are flat as a pancake after I take off my bra. They look great in a bra but oh my when I take off that bra my kids could hide under them :heh:and never be found. I would love to have them put back where they belong.

Long ago, a plastic surgeon told me that if you stick a pencil in the crease under your breast and it stays there, then your boobs are sagging too much. According to that standard, I've been sagging since the age of 12.

About the band width, I never wear a bra with less than 4 hooks. If you have large breasts, you need a wider band to support the weight.

I agree completely. I was a small A cup until I had my son. Then over night I went to a DD and never went down again. I breast fed him until he was mo old and then he went to the cup. My daughters were another story. Annie was 2 when she quit nursing and I was nursing Eli and Mary Elizabeth both together for mo Eli was almost 2 when I got her to quit and MaryElizabeth didn't quit until almost 3. So for years of my 16 years of being a parent I have had someone attached to my nipples. No wonder they are pancakes.< /span>

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
